  Whether you are stuck in the garden centre or nettled in your own garden, this work offers a guide to finding the correct names for different types of plants, quickly. From alpines to trees and shrubs, and houseplants to wild flowers, it covers 30,000 terms on every plant you could possibly come across. The text aims to make it easy to convert common names into their botanical equivalents and offers a listing of common epithets - helping the reader to understand the plant naming system. The work also provides earlier versions of botanical names, and both UK and North American common names.
